• Sometimes. I found that I got sick because I worried too much that I didn’t have enough raw food to eat. So, I had to move back a few steps and eat cooked and raw. But, for food combining specifically, I am not strict… except my body does not do wel…

• I agree with flybaby. To answer the question about cooked vs. raw… well, if you start off with raw, you begin digestion. If it’s all cooked, I think digestion is delayed 30 minutes. (Sorry, I don’t remember where I learned that.) But, it’s good to w…

• Yes, I read this on The Journal the other day. So where CAN we get good seeds? ...well, at least now… I assume organic farmers still get there seeds from a good reputable place (non-GE). And, it a few years ago that a seed-storage/archive place caug…

• Did you change the water in the almonds while they were soaking? Skins removed? How did you do that w/ germinated almonds? And WHY? Don’t those get removed when straining?

• Yes. You can freeze them. Besides, they have enzyme inhibitors to “survive the cold”; they will be fine. How long? Well, at least a winters length long. hehe ...actually, I do not know. They could last longer in the freezer.

• Great idea bluedolphin. My mom mentioned the doily thing… but I didn’t know what she was talking about! I thought that was some kind of yarn-type woven-by-hand fabric… and didn’t think more of it. Yeah, I was going to delete a one-word post I had in…

• Well, you have to understand their thinking. They may be skeptical because it hasn’t been “proven” to work. And, people want something that works. (chemo/radiation may not be the “best” option… but it has worked for some.) Every body is different… a…

• UPDATE: I tried it! I was wating for the “Big Matt w/ Cheese” to be on the menu… and I ordered it! The food is delicious! It does look a bit ‘sad’ in the plastic bags… but still tasted good. The food was in a bigger bag with an ice pack to keep it c…

• Thanks 2 husky girl. Sounds like the servings sizes are okay… since the only ‘downside’ is the delivery charge. I think it’s only $25 delivery to VA. Not too bad… but not something I would do often. It would definitely be a treat!

• Oh I totally agree… my husband has a better sense of smell than I do… and only more recently am I “catching up”. I have noticed a keener sense of smell… but, it comes and goes (I guess depending on what percentage of raw I’ve eaten).

• All prepared (non dehydrated, non sprouts) raw food lasts about 4 days. You can tell by its taste. uniform? How about adding a thickener of some sort… like irish moss. Not sure if this works… just guessing.
